Côtes-du-Rhône Bout d'Zan, Mas de Libian 2024
Red Wine from France - Rhone
This property and its wines provide great enjoyment. The estate is isolated and surrounded by olive trees, bee hives, lavender and garrigue with its proximity to the Gorges de l'Ardèche. A strong commitment to giving back to the soil, their biodynamic principles have led them to acquire a horse to work the vineyards. sees a cooler profile compared to 2023 and a lightness on the palate that provides a silky texture with bright red berries and a floral, wild flower perfume.

Mas du Libian
The Thibon family have farmed this estate at Saint-Marcel d’Ardèche since the 1670s but until 1995 any wine made here was sold to local négociants. 1995 saw Hélène Thibon take up the reins with her sister Catherine, give the estate the name Mas du Libian and start bottling their own wine. They have never looked back.
The vineyards lie on terraces of clay and limestone above the Rhône, some covered with the characteristic pebbles that radiate the heat soaked up during the day, thus helping the grapes to reach perfect ripeness. Grenache, syrah and mourvédre are grown for reds while some viognier, clairette and roussanne are made into the single white wine from the domaine. All are gobelet pruned.
The family has never used artificial pesticides on their land and are now certified organic, and they have acquired a horse name Nestor for ploughing instead of using a tractor or the like. All labour up to and including harvesting is done by hand at which time a strict sorting is carried out so that only the best fruit reaches the presses. The wines see no new oak or small barrels, being matured a while in large foudres or demi-muids which do not give oak flavour to the wine and as such allow the terroir to express itself all the more clearly.
This is very much a family affair with their parents watching over Hélène and her husband Alain Macagno, Catherine and their grandchildren as they all take their place among the vines.
